Although the economy has not shown significant improvement, U.S. new home sales in March increased by 27%, the highest in the most recent 50 years。For example, Palo Alto new homes sales remains hot because of its great school district and living environment here in the Bay Area.
Let us take a look.

Palo Alto’s Altaire townhome community launched the seventh and eighth phase of new homes release on May 1. It attracted a lot of people who wished to buy homes. Here is the interview with the sales manager Kim.

Reporter:
The Altaire townhome community was developed by the Regis Homes building company. During this weekend’s new release, three new homes were sold. Altaire is close to Freeway 101, convenient transportation, nearby shopping centers, adjacent to Stanford University, in the Palo Alto School District, and is the ideal location for many home buyers. Obviously the Palo Alto real estate market remains the hot spot for the Bay Area home buyers.
